druids - the starry plough lyrics

[chorus:]

rise up the starry plough in james connolly’s name
rise up the starry plough for his glory and his fame
he joined the transport union , so workers could be free
he fought for irish freedom, for the likes of you and me

[verse 1:]

james connolly came from scotland , a rebel to the core
he wanted not just freedom , but socialism and more
he said when we gain our freedom , from england’s cruel hands
we’ll have to fight the bankers , we’ll have to make a stand

[chorus]

[verse 2:]

he held his life for liberty in the gpo
he held his life for freedom , and he would not let it go
we’ll the brits , they bombarded them and they smashed them brick by brick
he held his life for freedom, and the socialist republic

[chorus]

[verse 3:]

connolly is a hero , and they shot him in a chair
they took him from the hospital, and those who were there
we’ll they set his lips on fire, on that easter morn
as the bullet pierced his heart , an irish martyr was born

what will his legacy be , now in this land of mine
where nothing has a reason, and little has arrived
we fought the yeos in wexford , we drove out the black and tans
now we fight the bankers, and their greasy hands

[chorus]
